2. Power inverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

   Modified sine wave produced by a cigarette lighter 12 volt DC to 120 V AC 60 Hz inverter. The modified sine wave is the sum of two square waves, one of which is delayed one-quarter of the period with respect to the other. The result is a repeated voltage step sequence of zero, peak positive, zero, peak negative, and again zero.

3. Higashi-Shimizu Frequency Converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higashi-Shimizu_Frequency...

   The Higashi-Shimizu Frequency Converter Station is operated by Chubu Electric Power Co. and is located at 677-3 Tanakake, Hirose-aza, Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka. It is fed via a 275 kV power line and a 154 kV power line. Its inverters operate at 125 kVDC and have a maximum transmission rate of 300 MW.

4. Frequency changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer

   A frequency changer or frequency converter is electronic or electromechanical equipment that converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. The equipment may also change the voltage , but if it does, that is incidental to its principal purpose, since voltage conversion of alternating current is much ...

5. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

   An HVDC converter converts electric power from high voltage alternating current (AC) to high-voltage direct current (HVDC), or vice versa. HVDC is used as an alternative to AC for transmitting electrical energy over long distances or between AC power systems of different frequencies. [1]

6. Utility frequency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency

   The waveform of 230 V and 50 Hz compared with 120 V and 60 Hz. The utility frequency, (power) line frequency (American English) or mains frequency (British English) is the nominal frequency of the oscillations of alternating current (AC) in a wide area synchronous grid transmitted from a power station to the end-user.

7. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

   Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.
